Sri Lanka

Talalla House, tucked into a hill with breath taking views & direct access to one of the most beautiful southern beaches in Sri Lanka, sleeps 14 people, in 7 en suite bedrooms. 5 of the bedrooms are in the main house & the her 2 are accessed from the garden.

Enter the architecturally modern Talalla House via a labyrinth where sunlight passes through slits in the wall to light up a tropical fishpond. Hear the ocean as you walk the long hall, past the kitchen, into the open living area.

From here, all eyes are drawn to the highlight of Talalla, the golden sandy beach stretching away from you for a kilometre. It is framed by the pool’s infinity edge and a lush tropical garden.

The living area is open plan with a dining table for up to 14 people – 10 seated in the house & 4 outside on the pool deck.

The entire living area opens to the deck and pool.

On the ground floor adjoining the living area, is one of the 5 main house suites en suite bedroom. It has sliding doors that open to the pool deck. From the living area, a floating stairway takes you to the first floor hallway with access to the remaining four bedrooms. All come with air-conditioning & private balconies that offer undisturbed ocean views.

The master & second suite both have bathtubs on the balconies.

At the end of the hall you enter the covered, open air yoga studio facing the ocean. If you wish, this area can also function as a private covered terrace for the master suite.

From here take the stairway to the rooftop with its 30 m (100 ft) long garden from where you look westerly over the beach & the open ocean. The rooftop garden has a small bar and lounge chairs for sunset drinks.

Back at the ground floor, walk past the pool & across the garden to the entrance of two smaller garden rooms, each with air con, en suite shower. We’d suggest these rooms are perfect for teenagers.

There is also an outside dining table under the shade of trees.

At the back of the house you’ll find the staff quarters. Talalla House has a 24/7 security guard and a gated parking area.
